France 1806 is really interesting. At a glance, it appears easy. By turn 6, it becomes a nightmare, but by turn 16, it becomes a cakewalk again. Here's how it's done:
Your generals (The stronger they are, the faster your win):
1 Infantry
1 Cavalry
1 Artillery
Fronts (These are played at once)
Peninsular war/Portugal
General: Jean Lannes
You send Lannes, along with some infantry (including the Machine Gun, which you ship by sea) to Porto. Andrae (the local buffoon) is easily outmatched by Lannes (A demigod on cavalry) and the city will fall soon after Lannes arrives. Then, your infantry will catch up, you'll gather some artillery, and off you go down to Lisbon. Silveira (Grenadier general) will have died on a Kamikaze attack on Ferdinando VII, and Beresford doesn't move, so it's easy. Then, send this force to Morocco, then to Tunisia, then to Turkey/Russia.
Mediterranean Fleet:
Send the 3 westerly ships to Morocco and the other two along with the Artillery to guarantee Naples' victory over Sardinia and Tunisia. You probably won't get Palermo or Tunis, but that's OK.
England:
Generals: Drouot, Sebastiani, Villeneuve, and your Infantry General
Have Villeneuve's fleet play defensive around Brest so you can use the fort against Britain. After they beat the Royal Navy's western Squadron, use them to secure the channel, then the area between GB and Ireland.
Meanwhile, send your Inf guy and Drouot to the Netherlands to help fend off Cotton and Sidney, to be joined by Sebastiani after he hangs out for a couple rounds on the channel in case the invasion comes.
After you beat back the forces attacking the Dutch and their supporting Battleships, send Sebastiani east to Berlin and everyone else west to Leeds and Liverpool. Meanwhile, take Plymouth and the unnamed city on the channel with normal troops, before having those converge with the generals on London. After London, it's a mop-up.
Eastern Front:
Generals: Your Artillery General, your Cavalry General, Napoleon, Savary, and later Sebastiani
Put your generals on the obvious units and send them towards Leipzig and Dresden. You will start by throwing your force at Blucher, then Dresden, then Kutuzov/Scharnhorst (whoever comes first, dies first
). Savary will be injured, and spend time in the city, but the others should be able to push on.
Unleash the Cav Gen (to be joined by Sebastiani) on Prussia, taking central Prussia, then Berlin , then the east. Send the rest to Brunn, then:
If your Art Gen has high health and high output, have him fight Radetzky and Wreck Austria while sending Napoleon East
If your Art Gen doesn't, do the reverse.
Whichever general you sent east should take the factory east of Poznan and defend it until your cav general comes as reinforcement. The other will continue to Vienna, then mop up Austria with Savary's aid.
After you've finished Prussia:
Send your Cav Guy to Sweden
Send Napoleon and Sebastiani to Russia.
The rest is self-explanatory
